*Gulp* Now that my life has been over-run with some casual work in prepress (Stationery via templates) my time (free time) is much lessened. And I have decided that I really should be: making something new every week, I would say every day but lets be reasonable here. I’m not counting something new as anything for work or a client, just something new. Sometimes – no doubt – this will simply have to be passed off as a sketch (although I hope to do that more than once a week). But practice makes better, and so I must practice.

I am also trying out some things and finding inspiration for my sisters’ wedding invitations so you’ll have to bear with the delightful style of: vintage/old books/foxes/trees/acorns/hand script/maps… of which nothing is confirmed (It’s mostly an excellent excuse to look at pretty things)

(I also made a pom-pom… because I could)

pineapple

I haven’t eaten it for years, so when I saw the recipe for pineapple upsidedown cake on the Parsley Thief, I had to make it. Very easy although the cake itself is quite low and I had to use pecans because I forgot to buy walnuts. I also made the vanilla sauce and can’t wait to eat both together. I’ve never cooked with vanilla bean before and I now understand why it’s worth the extra expense.

Oh glory!
